In the early sixties there were added a number of Quakers who were driven out of Lancaster and the neighboring counties of Virginia in 1660 by Gov. Berkeley, and who came to Maryland and settled principally along the shores of the Patapsco in Baltimore County and on the Choptank in what became in 1662 Talbot County. Richard Gorsuch and Thomas Powell, both justices of Talbot, and Howell Powell and Walter Dickenson, prominent planters, are examples of this Talbot Quaker group

References to Thomas Powell of Maryland begin to appear in Lancaster County, Virginia Court Records as early as 1654. His name appears frequently with Howell Powell who is assumed to be his brother. Howell and Thomas owned land next to the Corrotomon River It is not clear to me when Thomas Powell of Maryland came to Virginia but Howell Powell was transported by Hugh Gwyn in 1642. Descendants of these two Powell's believe that they were the sons of Hugh Powell of Castle Madoc in Wales.
Thomas and Howell Powell were apparently part of a group of Quakers who moved from Virginia to Baltimore County, Maryland in 1659 where the authorities were more tolerant of different religious denominations. In 1663-1664 various families of this group moved from Baltimore County, Maryland to Talbot County, Maryland on the Eastern Shore.

Howell POWELL was listed by the GORSUCH family as the husband of Elizabeth GORSUCH (per her grandmother's will?) at the same time that Elizabeth was called the wife of Cornelius HOWARD of AA, MD. I don't know which is correct. Elizabeth GORSUCH was bpt. 13 May 1641, England, & came with her mother, Anne (LOVELACE), wid/o John GORSUCH, to Virginia. Eliz. married Howell POWELL of Lancaster County, Virginia, & moved to MD. [See "Winston of VA & Allied Fam.," 1927, by TORRANCE, 1927 CS 71 W.782; also "Genealogies of VA Fam. fr.
